2 weeks

I'm a few days late, but late is better than never! Lila Kate is changing so much everyday! It's amazing how much she has changed from her birth. We had our first pediatrician's visit on Thursday, her 2 week birthday. It did not go as I had anticipated. We have been working on fattening up LK since we left the hospital with her. We had managed to drop to 7.1 during her jaundice period, but then got her up to 7.4. I just knew we would be at 8 or better on Thursday. To our shock/dismay, she had dropped back down to 7.1. I was completely heart broken! She had been eating so well!! So, Dr. Welch told us that we were going to have to supplement her feedings with formula. So I'm pumping several times a day so that I can alternate bottles of breast milk and formula. Will and I weighed her using our scales and my weight and we think she is over 7.6! Yay!! So hopefully when we go back in 2 weeks for a weight check we will get a nice weight gain. Other than that, we are enjoying "eyeball" time and trying to figure out a schedule for her. She is a sleeper like I was as a baby. But I'm not complaining. It allows me time to nap and get things done around the house.
